Thanks OP for sharing my website! Please be gentle with me. This is a project website that I built out of frustration a few years ago. I know there are things that need improving and a lot of things that could be adjusted. I work full time at Brave Software (brave.com) and simply don't have time to put a ton of effort into MuslceWiki. I do however have a big backlog of videos to add and I've slowly been working on an…
Thank you for this!

Thanks for building this! I love that this exists, and want to encourage you to continue. Like a lot of people working in tech, I've had persistent neck and posture issues for years. I'd love to see you expand to cover those, focusing on the many smaller muscles in the neck like SCM/Scalenes/Occipitals/etc. Another great area to expand is 'click where you have pain' and it would recommend certain stretches, weights,…

Just FYI. Not sure if it's just me, site says it's down. Error 521 Ray ID: 614ef97bce51190c • 2021-01-21 06:28:20 UTC Web server is down
Is there any way to select the core "pelvic floor" muscles (or whatever their technical name is)? Beyond anything to do with incontinence, my understanding is that they are intimately involved with back pain and are one of the most important muscle groups to strengthen, as flexing them (or not) influences the position of most other parts of the body. (When people say "walk tall", what they really mean is "turn your p…

Should be good now? Spinning up more servers as we speak. HN hug of death :)
It'd be a useful read for beginners.

most people don't have different weaknesses or special needs. in order to have a pronounced weak point, you need to have strong points, and untrained people aren't strong. highly individualized beginner training is like making minor corrections to a lump of clay. you don't even have a sculpture yet - there's nothing to correct.
People have muscle imbalances just from bad posture, sitting too much, and exercising with poor form (if they do exercise). Not to mention overall inflexibility that again lends to bad form. Watching videos and doing general exercises will not address these issues. They may actually make them worse.
what muscle I want to grow today?
That is not the way to go. If you start out or especially during a pandemic where you need to work with everything you can get go for composite exercises that hit more muscles and are the opposite of isolation exercises you might be tempted to choose from a page like this. Beginners: full body workouts. Advanced: 2 to 3 day split. Expert: you know your drill. and will do whatever works for you.
So who should be using this site? Beginners and advanced should use a plan that is preconfigured. Pros know what exercises they want to configure into their routines.
Don’t get me wrong: It’s nice to have for reference but do yourself a favor and use some preconfigured workouts if you’re starting out.
You won’t get a sixpack by only working out abs. Train your whole body and reduce body fat. That’s the way to go.

> Like a lot of people working in tech, I've had persistent neck and posture issues for years. I'd love to see you expand to cover those, focusing on the many smaller muscles in the neck like SCM/Scalenes/Occipitals/etc. I did some things on-and-off for posture (mostly rear delts), but what I did consistently, and think helped the most, was heavy (for me) deadlifts. I'm curious: how many pullups can you do? I ask bec…
